188,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, Video Demo, 99% Original Lacquer, Just Serviced
Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, s/n 188539. This saxophone has its original lacquer and approximately 99% remains. The sax is in great overall condition. There is a ding on the bow, but otherwise, the sax looks great and appears not to have been played much in its lifetime. The neck is original to the sax and has never been pulled down. My repairman just serviced the horn. He replaced a handful of pads, and the others are sealing well. The sax comes in its original case.
This is a great sounding Mark VI alto. It has a very smooth, even response from top to bottom, which I think could work well in both classical and jazz applications. The sound is full but not overly bright. This sax has a medium bow, which is the preferred bow design for most saxophonists. It offers the best combination of solid intonation and great sound.
